Lost (Carl Grimes love story; Completed)

Chapter 12

•If your wondering what James and Sierra look like there is a picture to the side. They are six years old. James has dark brown hair and green eyes, Sierra has blonde hair and green eyes.•

I woke up to James and Sierra shaking my shoulder.

"Wake up wake up!!" They said with smiling faces.

"I'm up I'm up!" I laughed while removing the pillow from my face.

They got off and started runninng to the bedroom door.

"Hey wait can I talk to you guys separately?" I said looking at them.

They nodded their heads and James waited outside the door.

"Sierra. Do you think the scratchers are friends?" I said in a low concerned voice.

"No.. They are scary and they always case after me.. I don't know why James likes them.." She said with her head low.

"Good.." I patted the top of her head smiling. "Can you go get James, I need to talk to him now.."

She nodded her head and walked to the door. She opened the door and walked out leaving it cracked behind her.

Then she came running in the room.

"JAMES!!!! HE'S GONE I CANT SEE HIM I LOOKED BUT I CAN'T FIND HIM." She cried as she held onto my leg.

My eyes widened. "I got to find him okay. Can you let go of my leg?" I asked in shock.

She let go of my leg. "Stay with Beth."

She nodded her head and we ran out of our room Sierra going to Beth and me running out the front door.

I saw him in the distance playing with a scratcher.

I ran as fast as I could and when I got close enough I shot the scratcher.

"JAMES" I screamed crashing into him and falling to the ground.

I got back up and frantically looked for any bites or scratches.

"Get in the house now." I said through gridded teeth holding back my tears.

He ran to the house crying. I sat there collecting my thoughts..

I got up and walked to the house.

I walked to my room slamming the door in the process.

I layed in my bed with my face in the pillow.

A few minutes later I heard someone come in and sit on my bed rubbing my back.

"I know it's hard..." It's Maggie.

"I need to talk to him can you tell him to come in here please." I asked sitting up.

"Mhm" I heard her walk out and within a few minutes James came in with his head down and his lip out.

"James... How much do you think I love you.."

"A lot.." He said in a sad tone.

"Even more than that.." I said cupping his face in my hands. "If I lost you or Sierra my world would come crashing down...."

"Those things aren't your friends... They are dead... It's hard to understand but they will eat you and once they do you will become one of them and we can never see you again okay.." I said softly.

"Okay.." He said looking at me with tear stained cheeks.

"Do you know what a promise is?"

He nodded his head.

"Okay do you promise me that you'll never play with one of those things ever again..." I looked in his eyes.

"I promise.."

I hugged him.

"Thank you." I said pulling away.

He started walking away.

"Hey James.."

"Yes.." He turned around

"Remember when you called me mommy?" I asked

He nodded walking over to me.

"Do you really think of me as a mum?"

"Yeah. You love us and take care of us and feed us and clean us.. And we love you." He smiled

I teared up. "Well your welcome to call me mommy whenever you want." I smiled

"I love you mommy!" He hugged me sniffing in to clear his nose. "Can I go play with Sierra now?"

"Sure you little brat" I said ruffing up his hair us both laughing.

He ran out of the room.

I guess I'm a mum now... I smiled to myself knowing I have my kids and the group to live for.
